The Labor state government has promised $11.7 million for upgrades at Drouin Secondary College if re-elected this month.
The funding will upgrade buildings and the modernisation of facilities to keep up with community growth and an increasing student population.
Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing visited the school last Monday to make the announcement and meet with principal Liz Godwin.
The commitment is part of the ALP's promise to invest up to $850 million in upgrades at primary and secondary schools across the state.
More than 25 per cent of the funding is promised to schools in regional Victoria.
Education Minister Natalie Hutchins said a Labor government would "keep working hard to make sure every family has access to a great local school" if re-elected.
An additional $19 million also has been promised by Labor to attract and retain teachers, aiming to address workforce pressures and demand.
The funding commitment includes a streamlined graduate program to centrally attract an extra 400 graduate teachers to work in schools with hard-to-staff positions, a program to attract an extra 400 experienced teachers back into the workforce and a migration support service to help principals recruit international teachers for their schools.
Earlier this month Drouin's Oak Street Kindergarten received $96,667 to demolish old sheds and extend an existing storeroom as part of the Building Blocks Improvement grant program, through which grants of up to $500,000 are available towards an early learning facility upgrade or improvement project.
Ms Shing said the funding for Oak Street Kindergarten would "assist our extraordinary educators to deliver the best outcomes for our littlest Gippslanders."
